further note: checked lunch tins of workers in Group One - lunches consisted of plain rice + small packets of salt or sambal [[?]], in same cases a few chunks of fried potato
[[/top margin note]]

her children left in the village are given a formula consisting of sweetened condensed milk + water + saccarine tablets (2 tablets per bottle)

insert - will probably decide to focus part of the project on infant feeding practices
in many places found Indomilk [[?]] sweetened condensed milk, which, acc. to Masri [[?]], used as the base of formula - to this is added more sugar, either white or brown, and saccarine tablets
no stability in strength or concentration of formula -> relates to illiteracy and inability of women to read instructions on milk tins
no info. on sterilization of bottles, pans, cups used
